ISBN: 9781481837156 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

A book that deals with the design of the escapement only is very useful, but what a repairer really wants is a quiet word with the person who mauled the clock last and some useful information about what to do to repair or replace the sad result. This book describes what...

It... Science and art are increasingly interconnected in the activities of the study and conservation of works of art. Science plays a key role in cultur... |
